The municipal employment bureau, discontinued nearly two years ago when the government took over em ployment agency work throughout the country as a war measure, was reopened yesterday for the benefit of the jobless of Portland and vicinity. The municipal bureau was at one time considered a model in efficiency and eervice and those in charge expect to build up an effective organization within a short time. Five, years ago the city employment bureau was opened here under George I. Baker, then commissioner of public affairs. Nelson F. Johnson, later chief of police, was in charge, with Arthur W. Jones as assistant. Mr. Jones has taken charge of the new bureau as general manager and yesterday super intended the fitting up and opening cf the offices.

Instal lation of telephones is the only fea ture lacking to allow the women's department to run in full force. The municipal employment bureau Is being opened at this time largely to fill the need created by the shut ting down of the federal bureau and probably will be maintained, it is an nounced, until some other arrange ment is made by the federal authori ties. The Kenyon bill now before congress provides for a joint state and federal employment service, the Government appropriating half the money necessary and each state its half. Oregon's apportionment would be approximately $40,000 from each source, it is stated. It would be fully 18 months before this law could be put into operation in Oregon, should it be passed, however, and in the interim the municipal bureau will meet a pressing need. Service Will Be Free. The bureau will not discriminate in any way, it is stated, and will attempt to find work for all in every field of activity. Its work will not b.e limited to the confines of Portland, but em ployers anywhere in the state or in the northwest are. asked to become clients and to state their labor needs. Positions will be secured for men both inside and outside of Portland, or wherever anything is in sight. No charge will be made to either em ployer or worker, it is said, the bu reau being run on a municipal basis entirely. 0. S. RADIO XPERT QUITS L1ECTEXAXT ICEL LEAVES XAVY SERVICE OX COAST.
